Anyone have any experience with the replacement extra long reach pedals? My other half is 4'11". All the Chims we have tried have been "standard" and while she can reach the pedals, she can not depress them fully while seated. Can the replacements give an extra 50mm? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Leven Technology do a set that should give that much.. (or more.. give em a ring) I'm guessing with a height of 4'11" she'll need more than that though as I'm having mine lengthened by 60mm for my wife who's 5'3"

Cheers,
Matt.

Yes, we bought these pedal extenders from Leven. Most excellent! I can drive the Cerb with no problems now, but before I couldn't get the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor.

Money well spent IMHO!

What excellent news. I am also a "small other half" who has not been able to drive the TVR as I can't reach the peddles! I was delighted to read this bit of advice.

Thanks for all the advice. It has convinced her that she will be able to drive it. We have now bought a Chimaera and a set of extra reach pedals.
